No Work Experience + Extremely high GMAT(770)+Very Good Grades=Chance ME
I am applying to seven business schools across the country
USC Marshall, University of San Francisco, University of Miami, University of San Diego, Boston College, NYU and Fordham University
The GMAT equivalent of my GRE Score is 750(98th) when just considering V+Q scores. But I earned a perfect score on the Analytical Writing Section (99th percentile). If you weigh the Writing and the Verbal sections equally my tri-factorGMAT score would be a 770(99th)
I have experience conducting psychological research in academia (9 months of experience)
and I am also a well-known poet and public speaker. In addition, I am working on a very elegant science fiction novel that is designed to be adapted into a screenplay
but I have no full-time work experience
I have maintained a 4.00 G.P.A. the past 2.5 calendar years at a decent but not elite university and have a 3.6 G.P.A. overall
Will my exceptionally high test scores enable me to gain admission at the schools I listed?
Doubt it but not impossible.
The thing is, it will be next to impossible to recruit for post-MBA level jobs with no work experience. Because of this, it would be a waste to get your MBA now. Get 2-3 years of solid experience, then apply, and you would be able to get into better schools afterwards.
Why do you want an MBA right now?
Wasting your time, money and effort going to the MBA programs highlighted would be a big mistake for you. You really have nothing to gain from those schools or from the MBA degree in general. If I were you, I would look into specialized masters programs (Masters in Management, Finance, Consumer Analytics, Supply Chain Management, etc.). What are your interests?
Just so you know, the writing portion of the GMAT does not factor into the total score calculation, only Math + Verbal. Thus, your 750 equivalent is exactly that.
I actually think you'd have decent odds at the schools you're targeting. However, I have not gleaned a coherent reason that you need an MBA (not saying you don't have one, just haven't gotten it from your post). Could you please expound upon this for me and for the others here who would like to help you?
Nota bene: don't know if I'd consider anything less than a perfect score to be "exceptionally high", but a 750 GRE equiv certainly is not bad ;)
